Before buying Gnocchi at the supermarket, you should try this recipe to make it at home. It’s easy and quick (You only have to wait the potatoes to cook and then it’s ready in about 15 minutes).
Homemade real Italian Gnocchi is one of the most delicious food you can eat, especially if you add Blue cheese sauce.
SERVES 4 PEOPLE
READY IN 1h (40’ + 5’ it’s cooking time!!)
INGREDIENTS
1 lb 8 oz potatoes ( better floury white potatoes)
7 oz all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
2-3 pinch salt
All-purpose flour + semolina to taste (for the pastry board)
Water to taste
Coarse salt to taste
1/2 cup Blue cheese
1/2 glass milk
chopped walnuts to taste
STEP 1: BOIL THE POTATOES
Deep unpeeled potatoes in cold water and boil them for about 40 minutes.
STEP 2: MAKE THE DOUGH
Place all-purpose flour on the pastry board, add hot mashed potatoes (peeled), beaten egg and salt. Knead quickly and add other all-purpose flour only if necessary.
STEP 3: SHAPE GNOCCHI
On a floured surface, shape small portions of the dough into long “snakes” and cut them into little pieces.
To make real italian gnocchi place each of them on a fork and press it on it to make it wrinkled! Then sprinkle gnocchi with all-purpose flour + semolina.
STEP 4: COOK GNOCCHI and ADD THE SAUCE
Cook gnocchi in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes after they’ve risen the top, then drain them.
In the meantime let Blue cheese melt with milk on low heat and then add gnocchi.
